Big booty girl meteorologists are best meteorologists
  • Private weather station?

    It's pretty much impossible to make reliable forecasts based on the data of a singular weather station. The initial data comes in from a variety of sources including satellites, radars, surface observation stations (weather stations) and upper air soundings around the globe. All of the above are maintained by public sector organizations who collaborate and share the data because the weather is an inescapably global thing. During WW2 the Germans actually set foot in Canada to set up a weather station in an attempt to spread the coverage of their observation network.

    Nowadays all that data is used as inputs for numerical weather prediction models, running on supercomputers in the basements of meteorological institutes and agencies. Big global ones like ECMWF and GFS are used pretty much by all meteorologists around the world, who look at those and other smaller, more local models. They compare the different forecasts and critically evaluate the probabilities of different outcomes. They apply their own judgement selecting the most credible raw forecast and then edit that if needed. All in all, it's a very global effort.

    At least where myself and @Kusimulkku@lemm.ee are from, meteorologists at the public broadcasting company (where that title is a requirement for getting the job) collaborate closely with their colleagues at the national meteorological institute. Their job is to comprehend the situation as presented by the institute, decide which bits of it are important, and then boil that down into a smooth and easy to understand presentation.

    If a weather reporter isn't an actual meteorologist, then there is an actual meteorologist behind the scenes who made the presentation for the reporter to present.

  • Eurulevision
  • Croatia sang about urbanisation and the decline of the countryside.

    Israel was 100% a political show no elaboration needed there.

    Finland sang about no rules - anarchism.

    Serbia was anti war, which is also a political position.

    Then there's all the feminist and queer themes like with Ukraine, Spain and Switzerland. Arguably not political, but then again neither should be Palestinians deserving human rights.

    And these are just what comes to mind off the top of my head.

  • Don't google 'solar flare'
  • I think there's a distinction between "electrocuted" and "electrocuted to death". Same as with "stabbed" vs. "stabbed to death" or any other such verb that can, but may not necessarily result in death.

  • Don't google 'solar flare'
  • You should know that this wasn't a solar flare, but a coronal mass ejection. Look that up instead. No, it's nothing too bad either. The one in 1859 was a big one and some people got electrocuted at telegraph stations, but this ain't like that.

  • Don't google 'solar flare'
  • Not a solar flare but a coronal mass ejection. And while the subsequent G5 geomagnetic storm can do damage to various technological systems, it shouldn't be anything too bad.

  • NASA Veteran’s Propellantless Propulsion Drive That Physics Says Shouldn’t Work Just Produced Enough Thrust to Overcome Earth’s Gravity - The Debrief
  • CTRL F "Peer review" No matches.

    Don't get me wrong, it's definitely interesting that this thing keeps making headlines after all these years, but if the drive is capable of the kinds of thrust they say it's getting, why haven't they been able to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt? Every space agency and their dog would already be sending prototypes into orbit if they didn't think that this was a scam.

    Jos turvapaikanhakijoiden ohjaaminen rajalle on Venäjän hybridivaikuttamista, Suomi on toiminut hyvin ennakoitavalla tavalla, pohtii Ylen Venäjän-kirjeenvaihtaja Heikki Heiskanen.
